Holidays to delay trash service for some customers

Due to the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, Harrison Industries will delay its regular trash collection by one day for Tuesday through Friday during the weeks of Dec. 24-30 and Dec. 31 to Jan. 5.

The change will not affect customers whose garbage is picked up on Mondays.

Residents may put out twice the amount of trash at no extra charge during the two weeks after Christmas. Customers should make sure the trash is in bags. Harrison will also collect extra recyclables, but customers should flatten all boxes.

For Christmas tree recycling, customers should remove ornaments, hooks, lights, tinsel, bows, nails and tree stand, then cut the tree into sections no more than 4 feet long and place them in the yard waste barrel on their scheduled pickup day. Flocked trees can be recycled.

Harrison and Sons; Fillmore and surrounding unincorporated areas as Santa Clara Valley Disposal; and Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park and surrounding unincorporated areas as Newbury Disposal.
